The Central Park Five
June 15, 22, & 23 • 2019
Warner Grand Theater, 478 West 6th, San Pedro
In 1980’s New York, five African American and Latino teenagers were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Unjustly convicted of a Central Park rape, they were exonerated through DNA 13 years later. Davis’ opera is a passionate story about an issue that still rocks America.
